TRAFFIC SAFETY: NEW BOOK BY LEONARD EVANS

A new book by Leonard Evans entitled Traffic Safety was recently
 published by Science Serving Society (Bloomfield Hills,
Michigan). The book provides a comprehensive overview of
traffic safety problems and their nature, including discussions of
vehicle and roadway characteristics; gender, age and alcohol
effects on survival; older drivers; driver performance and
behavior; and occupant protection. The chapter on alcohol
includes discussions of the role of alcohol in increasing crash risk
and the range of policy approaches available to deal with the
impaired driving problem. The book includes a critique of U.S.
traffic policies that have resulted in a safety record behind that of
many other industrialized countries and provides suggestions for
how policy changes could improve safety. For more information,
